Hrmmmm....short story, Dagger in Vichey by Alistair Reynolds. Longer one probably Glorious Exploits (Ferdia Lennon) or Second Death of Locke (VL Bovalino)

All the "tells" are stolen style. Everything AI does has been ripped away from the work of someone, and replicated without soul, skill, and cognition. While that thing goes on, people do what they've always done: create.

HAPPY DROP WEEKEND! New stuff's in the shop, like... Blood Sport by Stinky Wizard A tiny medieval duel! Your noble knight is represented by a little guy made of playing cards (or the Minor Arcana from a Rider Waite tarot deck). Don your armor and good luck

Thank you Souls <3 It is a bit draining yeah. Everyone is safe, if not a bit anxious (the Ministry have a habit of not putting info out until they're forced to, soooo)

'Steph you seem to be taking this incredibly well?' I did bomb evacs starting from the age of 6. It is what it is

Btw if you're waiting on me for anything its been a weird week of 'oh my God my family in Saudi are dealing with missiles blowing stuff up incredibly close and shrapnel falling onto the city again' and 'I am one silly little person wearing a number of Business Hats' 5 -6 working days please

Same!! I get the sheer depth of the win when you get a pic you like, and this is a stunner 💅

It's silently costing people friends and other connections, too. If I see that you are posting or reposting gen AI content I'm unlikely to say anything but I will immediately lose interest in striking up any kind of conversation, friendship, or working relationship.

I spent a lot of my formative years treating self deprecation as a replacement for a personality. That made a lot of problems worse in a way i'm still trying to break down to this day. And it winds up being a lot of work I put on other people. Love yourself for your own sake AND your loved ones.

no i'm not an angel pt 3
